My coupe was built with a black and silver interior. It is now black and falling apart (interestingly, the welting at the door openings are still silver). I have been trying to research what should be black vs. silver with many conflicting answers. The picture below is a convertible, but is one of the only pictures I can find, but I have a coupe. I know door panels (black carpet on the bottom), seats and visors are silver and the carpet is black, but what about the halo and other coupe interior pieces? Can anyone provide a listing of what is what? Thanks.
I had a 65 coupe that was a blue and white interior, not sure if the 64 is the same as a 65. The 65 had blue carpet, dash, radio side panels, kick panels, seat belts, shift plate console and rear blower cover. White components were the seats, door panels, visors, headliner, halo and rear window trim, quarter trim panels. I did see a 64 coupe at a good guys car show last year with that interior and it is stunning, don't recall however how it was trimmed out.
Factoid, I used to have a '64 coupe with black and white interior. It was the same as Keith describes. White door panels, quarter trim, seats, visors, halo panel, headliner and rear window trim. I'm pretty certain that would transfer to any two tone color combination. You can just see the halo panel and window trim in the upper corners of these pics .
The above post is very informative. Just a year old.
I dyed my halo back to silver with SEM dye in aerosol, and also my back window inner trim with excellent results. The headliner wicks up so much dye it could be called an acceptable result for a driver like mine but not brilliant compared to the hard parts.
I have have also had good luck dying my door panels but the seat covers eventually need done again (but inexpensive to look after)

Greg, this post (and Keith’s description) corroborate all of my research on what is correct, so this is how I’m going to proceed. Almost every other input contradicted others or described a silver interior, not black and silver.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t (that was my thread) which is why I’m here again!
Read post #2 and #6 in that thread; your carpet (both floor and door panels) should not be black, but rather a "medium" gray. It's not available in reproduction, but that's what was there originally.
I agree that black/silver interior combo may be the most attractive ever offered in a midyear Corvette.

Here are a couple of lists of the '64 Interior Color codes...Vinyl/Leather...Coupe/Convertible...Two-Tone....Maybe this info can help with your search of pictures...Paul...
Here you go.. I have owned 2 of them and still have 1 of them. Both Fuel Injection. Very few made.
Beautiful, Harry, but isn't that solid silver rather than the silver/black combo? My recollection is (sketchy at best ) the silver/black combo had a slightly darker grey carpet.
